Security and hardening elements and procedures are best applied to a server both during installation and post-installation and aim to improve the tness of the system for the purposes demanded by its administrator. The understanding of this guide is to support the administrator with the security related choices and decisions that the administrator will have to make. The individual steps and procedures are to be seen as a proposal, not as something that ultimately needs to be done. In many cases, this guide will even force the reader to discuss the usefulness towards the objectives that the measures may provide - or not. Obviously, the objective is to improve the security value of the system. Denitions about the meaning of the term security vary, but we want to settle on one that is both simple, abstract and therefore possibly true for most IT solutions: A good system does what it is expected to do, and it does it well. A secure system is a good system that does nothing else. The part with “nothing else” is certainly within the focus of this guide. The Linux system is architected in such way that security policies are enforced. These policies are (fairly generic and incomplete list): DAC - Discretionary Access Control: File and directory permissions as we know them: chmod , chown privileged ports: TCP and UDP ports 0-1023 as well as raw sockets are only to the super user other privileged operations: The loading of kernel modules, conguration of network interfaces, exclusively all security relevant settings of the Linux kernel, are operations that can only be done by the root user, eg. the user with the numeric userID 0. Attacking a system means to attempt to overcome (eg. circumvent or break) these privilege boundaries in a way that the administrator of the system or the programmer of the corresponding subsystem has not taken into account. vi SUSE Linux Enterp… 11 SP4 A “hardened” system raises the bar for the attacker to make the system do what “he” wants by reducing the area that the system exposes to the attacker (often called attack surface), and by mitigating the risk that exists for the system if a part of it fails to handle untrusted input safely, thereby allowing actions within the context of this part of the system that were not intended by the programmer. Security is about decisions, and whenever security is in (apparent) opposition to function, these decisions become trade-os. While it can be argued that all systems should be set up to be as securely as possible, some levels of security and hardening may very well be overkill in some cases. Each system's operational environment has its own security requirements derived from business drivers or regulatory compliance mandates (e.g. SOX, HIPAA, PCIDSS, etc.) and an eective business requirements analysis should be performed in order to determine the right level of security and hardening to be applied to a server or dened as part of a baseline server build. As a nal note before we begin: You may encounter individual requirements in regulatory compliance frameworks that may not make sense from a technical perspective, or they do not serve the purpose of improving security. It may be a productive attitude to simply implement what is required, but whenever there is a contradiction to security, an informed discussion in the documentation serves the overall purpose of your regulative compliance framework much more than blindly obeying the specications. Please feel encouraged to dispute list items that you think are counterproductive. 1 Assumptions and Scope While in most cases in this document reference will be made to a single server target or host, the scope can generally be applied to more than one machine. We generally assume that the security target can cover one or more systems running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. We explicitly do not make any assumtions about the hostility of the network that the systems are connected to, or the cooperative nature of the users that leverage the services provided by the systems. In turn, this means that you partially dene your context on your own when reading through this document. You will need to broaden the meaning of individual portions to adopt it to your environment. In some cases, such as the use case of a server that is exposed to the Internet, this vii Assumptions and Scope SUSE Linux Enterp… 11 SP4 document may even be insucient or incomplete; however, it may still serve as a good starting point on your journey towards an increased level of condence that your system will behave like you want it to. About trust: Trust relationships exist among all systems that participate in networked transactions. Basically, the trust relationship between the persons that use the systems is transported across these systems. The chain that is formed by your trust relationships is only as strong as the weakest link. If we further assume that not all your problems are between keyboards and chairs, then it is up to the designer of the network of systems to watchguard the trust relationships. It is good practice to graphically visualize the trust relationships with the services in a schematic overview or map of your network. Generally, it is up to the owner of a resource to enforce the policies imposed on that resource; this would usually be the server that provides the resource.

  • 1 Introduction
    Technical report, IDE1202, February 2012 Enhancing Network Security in Linux Environment Master Thesis in Computer Network Engineering By Ali Mohammed, Sachin Sama and Majeed Mohammed School of Information Science, Computer and Electrical Engineering Halmstad University i Enhancing Network Security in Linux Environment Master Thesis in Computer Network Engineering School of Information Science, Computer and Electrical Engineering Halmstad University Box 823, S-301 18 Halmstad, Sweden February 2012 ii Preface First of all, we would like to express our sincere gratitude to our Supervisor Philip Heimer and Professor Tony Larsson for their supervision and assistance in the entire thesis work. We are also thankful to IDE department, Halmstad University for providing this opportunity to complete this thesis. Ali Mohammed Sachin Sama Majeed Mohammed iii iv Abstract Designing a secured network is the most important task in any enterprise or organization development. Securing a network mainly involves applying policies and procedures to protect different network devices from unauthorized access. Servers such as web servers, file servers, mail servers, etc., are the important devices in a network. Therefore, securing these servers is the first and foremost step followed in every security implementation mechanism. To implement this, it is very important to analyse and study the security mechanisms provided by the operating system. This makes it easier for security implementation in a network. This thesis work demonstrates the tasks needed to enhance the network security in Linux environment. The various security modules existing in Linux makes it different from other operating systems. The security measures which are mainly needed to enhance the system security are documented as a baseline for practical implementation.

  • Access Control Framework
    This material is based on work supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. 0802551 Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the author (s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation C5L1S1 When working for an institution as a Linux Administrator, you may be required to protect certain information based on its sensitivity. For instance, most organizations will have an internal network in which data contained in certain directories or drives are made public—employees can access the contents. However, certain kinds of information such as employee salaries, classified research, secret prototypes, health information, military secrets, and private communications are considered highly sensitive and are usually restrictedU the from everyone except very few people authorized to access the data. In this lesson, we will explore processes, tools, and control lists that make it possible to limit access to sensitive data on a Linux-based system. Understanding this topic is important for any system administrator configuring systems in the workplace that require access control mechanisms. C5L1S2 You should know what will be expected of you when you complete this lesson. These expectations are presented as objectives. Objectives are short statements of expectations that tell you what you must be able to do, perform, learn, or adjust after reviewing the lesson. Lesson Objective: U the Given the need to secure a Linux server, the student will recommend a set of standard Linux tools such as PAM, Access Control Lists, and TCP Wrappers to effectively secure a Linux system and demonstrate the use of one set of tools for system lock-down.

    My name is Robert Kudyba and I am the System Administrator for the Department of Computer Science here at Fordham University and a recent graduate of the Master’s in Cybersecurity. The lab will require you to install VirtualBox with Ubuntu preferable from osboxes.org. The commands listed in the lab will assume you have installed this image. Any Ubuntu version will work but if you installed from ubuntu.com then you will have to substitute the username you created for every place I reference osboxes. If you use Kali, you will be using the root user and there may be other issues as I’ve only confirmed everything works on Ubuntu. 1 In this lab, I will be gong over Linux remote access protocols Telnet and SSH, providing a history, the various encryption methods used, the concept of security through obscurity, a program called Fail2ban, how to use a Certificate Authority in OpenSSH, TCPWrapper, and Port Knocking. 2 • Telnet is a simple, text-based network protocol that is used for accessing remote computers over TCP/IP networks like the Internet. Telnet was created and launched in 1969. • Prior to telnet, you had to physically walk to a server in order to access its data. This meant, among other things, that you had to spend some time arriving at the server's location and then you had to wait for your turn to work with the server. Even if the server had the hardware power to do multiple things at the same time, you were blocked from using if someone was before you so you had to wait for others to finish their work first.

  • Firewalls and IDS
    Firewalls and IDS Dr. Natarajan Meghanathan Associate Professor of Computer Science Jackson State University E-mail: [email protected] Firewalls • A firewall is a device that filters traffic between a “protected” or inside network and a “less trustworthy” or outside network. • A firewall is basically an executable code run on a dedicated computer. • As all traffic should pass through the firewall, it is not a point of bottleneck for system performance and hence non-firewall functions are not performed on that machine running the firewall. • Also, since non-firewall code does not exist in the computer, it is hard for an attacker to make use of any vulnerability to compromise the firewall. • Design idea: – Firewalls implement a security policy that is specifically designed to address what bad things that should not happen in a “protected environment” – Security policies that dictate what to allow: Standard security practices dictate a “default-deny” ruleset for firewalls, implying that the only network connections allowed are the ones that have been explicitly stated to be allowed. – Security policies that dictate what not to allow: Users and business community who lack such a detailed understanding to explicitly state what should be allowed in prefer a “default-allow” ruleset, in which all traffic is allowed unless it has been specifically blocked. – Even though this configuration is relatively more prone to inadvertent network connections and system compromise, it is more commonly used because of mere lack of knowledge and new applications that come into existence. Firewalls • Not all firewalls need to have the same capability. • One cannot compare the “goodness” of two firewalls based on the security policies they are configured with.
